BRACKET-SUPPORTED RECEPTACLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,504, dated April 5, 1904:.

Application filed July 3, 1903. Serial No. 164,235. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY FRANCIS KEIL, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Bronxville, in the county of Vestchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in BracketSupported Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to appliances used for holding articles, and particularly to a receptacle mounted on a bracket provided with means for attaching the same to a wall or other support, 620., the whole being neat and ornamental in appearance; and it has for its object the provision of an article of the kind set forth simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and. efficient in practical use.

To attain the desired end, this my invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and operation of parts herein set forth.

In order to enable my invention to be fully understood, I will proceed to explain the same by reference to the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my receptacle and support. Figs. 2, 3, 4:, and 5 are views in detail, respectively, of my receptacle, washer, bracket'arm, and base-plate.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views.

Referring particularly to the drawings, A denotes a cup ordinarily made ornamental in design, as shown, and preferably drawn out of wrought metal'all in one piece and provided with a centrally-disposed upwardly-extending stem provided with an interiorlythreaded socket a. My cup A is ordinarily provided with a yielding false bottom B, constructed of flexible material, as thin springbrass, and provided with a depending rim or ledge 6 to loosely fit in the bottom of my cup, the central portion of the bottom B resting upon and being supported by the top of the or the washer may be omitted and stem d of the bracket screwed into the stem a of the cup.

In operation the receptacle, arm, and baseplate are assembled together, the lug cl of the arm D being inserted in the orifice e" of the base-plate E and the two being riveted together and the receptacle being secured upon the upper end of the said arm D, and in cases where the cup A is to be used for the purpose of holding a tumbler, etc. the yielding bottom B affords a soft, yielding, or elastic bed, thus preventing the glass from being cracked if it is hastily placed in the said cup.

As it is evident that many changes in the construction, form, proportion, and relative arrangement of parts might be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, I would have it understood that I do not restrict myself to the particular construction and arrangement of parts shown and described, but that such changes and equivalents may be substituted therefor, and that WVhat I claim as my invention is As anew article of manufacture a receptacle drawn out of Wrought metal all in one piece, having at the lower part thereof a centrallydisposed and upwardly-extending stem in combination with a false bottom consisting of a yielding metal disk smaller in diameter than the interior of the receptacle and constructed and arranged to be centrally supported by said stern without touching the bottom or interior side faces of the said receptacle, and a bracket adapted to support the receptacle.

In testimony of the foregoing specification I do hereby sign the same, in the city of NeW York, county and State of New York, this 18th day of June, A. D. 1903.
